A few days ago at the Los Angeles press junket forTag, I sat down with Jon Hamm for a wide-ranging conversation.

In addition, he shared a great story about accidentally crashing aGame of Thronesviewing party in Atlanta with Ed Helms, how he got involved inDrew Goddard’sBad Times at the El Royale, how quickly he had to be on set after learning 14 pages of dialogue, and what it was like makingScott Z.
